Where it usually begins in 's Gravenmoer
's Gravenmoer is not a random place to have a rodent problem: what happens here follows directly from the landscape and the buildings around it. Canals were built straight and they stay open, which makes them ideal travel routes. The banks are mown but never cleared, the stonework has gaps, and the moorings along them provide both shelter and food. From that line, the nearest housing is usually a few dozen metres away.
Around 's Gravenmoer we consistently see the same few factors at work, and they are the ones we check first. Alongside that, the farms around the village plays a part in what we find here. So the inspection in 's Gravenmoer begins outside, where the traces tell us how long it has been going on.
's Gravenmoer falls under the municipality of Dongen in Noord-Brabant, a village of roughly 2,500 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Waspik, Dongen and Raamsdonk, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
What we check in 's Gravenmoer
An inspection in 's Gravenmoer follows the places that matter most locally. Given the canal and its quays, these are at the top of the list:
- quay walls and lock structures with cavities behind them
- the towpath and bank vegetation along the waterway
- moorings and the waste that collects around them
- feed stores, barns and machinery sheds on the farms
Our method from start to finish
- 1
Identify the species
Droppings, smear marks and the size of the openings together determine which animal it is.
- 2
Match the method
Mice: traps on the route. Rats: locked stations and patience until the wariness fades.
- 3
Define the area
With rats we also look at garden, yard and neighbouring plots, because their range does not stop at your fence.
- 4
Close the file
Only after several days without activity do we finish and does the guarantee start.
We work according to IPM, Integrated Pest Management. In the Netherlands that is not a marketing label but a legal requirement: first remove what attracts the animals, then solve the structural cause, and only use a rodenticide if it is genuinely necessary. In many homes no poison is used at all.
That order works in your favour. A rodenticide removes the animals that are present but not the reason they were there. As long as the food source and the opening remain, the next group simply takes the place over.
How to tell how far it has gone
The time of year in which you notice something says a lot about what is happening. Reports in September and October are almost always about animals moving indoors because it is getting colder. Reports in February and March are about a population that spent the winter inside and has since started breeding.
Take a torch and hold it low and at an angle to the floor rather than straight ahead. In that raking light, grease marks, hairs and fine footprints in dust stand out immediately, while under normal ceiling light they disappear completely.
Where the noise is coming from
- Above a suspended ceiling: usually mice between the battens
- From the cavity wall or behind panelling: mice using the facade
- Under the floor, with a dull thud: more likely a rat than a mouse
- In the roof, with material being dragged: nest building in insulation
- At the eaves, in daylight only: probably birds or squirrels
Free inspection and rates in 's Gravenmoer
The largest cost of a rodent problem is almost never the treatment but what gets damaged in the meantime. A gnawed plastic water pipe under the floor, insulation that has to be replaced, wiring in the meter cupboard, a contaminated food cupboard: those add up quickly and are often not covered by insurance.
Ask explicitly whether closing the entry routes is included and with what material that is done. Expanding foam and tape do not count as proofing, because a rat gets through both in a single night.
When a job runs longer
- A problem that has been going on for months
- A population spread across several homes
- A crawl space that can only be opened with breaking work
- A property backing onto public green space or open water

How to keep rats and mice outside
A tidy garden is not the same as a rodent-proof garden. It is not about how it looks but about whether there is unbroken cover: a fence with a dense hedge against it, a stack of paving slabs against the wall, a shed standing directly on the ground. Those are the places where a population settles.
You do not have to remove the planting. Cut it clear of the roof and the gutter, keep it away from air bricks and penetrations, and look behind the leaves once a year with a torch. The same applies to a dense hedge along a fence.
Waste and bins
- A lid that truly closes, even when the bin is full
- The bin clear of fences and shrubs, so it is not reachable under cover
- Bags out on the morning of collection day, not the evening before
- In a shared storage room: one clear agreement with all residents
Rats and mice in 's Gravenmoer: common questions
- Yes. We will drive to 's Gravenmoer for a single mouse behind a skirting board. With a small problem the work is done in one or two visits, which is the cheapest outcome for both sides.
- Yes, all of 's Gravenmoer and the rest of the municipality of Dongen, plus the surrounding villages and districts in Noord-Brabant.
- The follow-up check is included in the agreed price. Only if there is a demonstrably new problem, or extra work you request yourself, do we agree a new price in advance.
- August and September, ahead of the autumn migration. A house that is structurally closed by then usually gets through the winter without mice.
- Yes. Rats in the garden will look for warmth sooner or later, and keeping them out is far easier than getting them back out again.
